Anthony Richard scored two goals, including the goal that saw a record number of teddy bears fall from the sky, as the Laval Rocket won a high-scoring game 7-4 over the Belleville Senators on Saturday evening at Place Bell.
Saturday’s game was the team’s teddy bear toss game, where fans throw stuffed animals onto the ice after the team’s first goal of the game. The toys are then collected and donated to 30 different foundations and initiatives working with families and children.
